Patrick,

To directly answer your question about where to find out more info about Mauser C96s I have found the book System Mauser by John Breathed and Joe Schroeder to be an excellent summary of this pistol. I'm pretty certain it is still in print, and well worth the money for anyone who wants to collect broom handles. (I have six). Maybe you already know about this book, but just wanted to let you know. I know the pistol you have is Chinese. Just to be clear, the book only touches on Chinese pistols. Not much detail.
